Why this fixation on ostriches? They’re shit. The only possible reason is ‘they’re a bird, you know like Twitter!’ but Nostr is so much more than Twitter, or will be. Needs its own identity.

as I've heard it the ostrich was used because it is the biggest bird. and also because it has -ostr in the name. I agree that nostr will be bigger and more things than the other little blue bird app will ever be but there's a charm in having a collective history.

Except for the fact that it is an ostrich.

Yes you are definitely correct. I also would like to draw from attention to the language around the UX of nostr clients. I want to use new verbiage then the plain old "Like, Repost, dislike" ext. It's really important to create vernacular around these actions that express the decentralization, censorship resistance, and other advantages of this network. "Zapping" is a great example of this because it's a completely noval action online. The old words of other social media should be revamped rebranded to better express our ethos.

To be honest, I don't like the ostrich theme.
